Several of Admiral Craddock's staff officers followed him into the interior yesterday, saying they were going to Orizaba for recreation.

IX RAILROAD Mil AT mmms State Tax Commission In creases Last Year's Assessment by $6,000,000 Doubles Kay and Gila .Valley Appraisement Adding over i 6,000,000 to the as sessed valuation of the railroad property of the state, the tax commission yesterday announced the total ap praisement at J30,256,923.50, for a to tal mileage of l',243.5 miles of railway.The most noticeable increase is in the case of the Ray and Gila Valley railroad, the property value of which is fixed at $114,500 per mile, against a valuation of $55,000 for 1913. The property was appraised at $05,000 per mile last year, but this figure was afterward reduced by the commission sitting as a board of equalization. The Pay snort line, which runs from Kelvin to Ray is 9.34 miles in length, and its one of the heaviest earning roads in the state. The main lines of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroad are assessed at the same figure, $64,000 per mile, and the Arizona and New Mexico, and main line of the El Paso and Southwestern are fixed at $50,-000 per mile. From these figures the rates of valuation diminish the lowest being $2500 per mile, (the value fixed for the Congress Consolidated Mines property.) As usual Cocliise leads the list of counties with a mileage of 412.8 and an assessed valuation of $16,356,-710.00. Yavapai is second, with 350.1 miles and $10,637,215.00 valuation, with Maricopa third, the mileage in this county being 274.09, valued at $10,250,755.00. The total increase over last year, $6,126,013.00, is lue more to increased earnings of the railroads than to new construction, the latter item having added only 14.25 miles to the lines in the state. Most of this increase was in Yavapai county, where the construction of the Verde Tunnel and Smelter road from Jerome to Clarkdale addel approximately 11 miles to the mileage in Yavapai county. The values fixed hy the commission for the more important roads of the state follow: Ariz. Eastern $9,090,815 A. T. & S. F. (main line) .. .24,714,240 C. and A. and S.

A survey of the developments in Mexico within the last 24 hours has convinced officials of the Washington government that internal peace is near at hand. The appointment of Francisco Carbajal as minister of foreign affairs means the retirement of Huerta in his favor as provisional president within a few days, according to messages from the Mexican capital to diplomats here. The capture by the constitutionalists of Guadalajara, w ithin striking distance of the Mexican capital, emphasized to the people in the territory controlled by Huerta that a military triumph of the revolution is inevitable. This is the tenor of information which has reached officials here along with news that persons prominently identified with the Huerta government are quietly leaving the country with their families, fearing reprisals by the constitutionalists. The composition of differences between Carranza and Villa through the conference at Torreon has solidified the constitutionalist military forces again, but those conversant with the inner details of the situation claim that a more beneficial result has ensued in the program for holding honest elections and carrying out of a series of reforms which has been drafted. But Carranza's pronouncement at Saltillo and statements of his representatives here make it almost a certainty that the only terms the constitutionalists will offer will be in acceptance of the plan of Guadalupe which would mean a virtually unconditional surrender by NEAR Stockton Faces War For An "Open Shop" Policy ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH STOCKTON, July 11. Officials of the Merchants and Manufacturers Employers' Association and representatives of organized labor announced tonight they had nothing to say relative to develop'ments in the labor war which opened Thursday morning when the M.

A few additional "strikebreakers" arrived and several of those who came yesterday have since been pre IS FREEDOM FOR PHILIPPINES Administration Approv e d Plan for More Autonomous Insular Government is Laid Before National Congress NO ATTEMPT TO FIX DATE Preamble Recites It Was Never Intention of the United States to Make Spanish War One of ConquestASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH WASHINGTON, July 11. Anadministration-approved plan for a more autonomous government in the Philippines as another step toward Indepedence was laid before congress today. Representative Jones of Virginia, introduced a bill covering the subject. The bill makes no attempt to fix the date for Philippine independence. Its preamble recites that it was never the Intention of the people of the United States in the incipiency of the war with Spain to make it a war of conquest for territorial aggrandizement. Jones is chairman of the house insular committee, and his measure declaring the purpose of the people of the United States as to the future political status of the Filipinos, follows a long series of conferences with the president, Secretary Garrison, Manuel Quezon, Philippine resident commissioner to the United States and democratic members of the insular committee, all of whom have approved it informally. The bill asserts that it has always been the purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine Islands, "as soon as a stable government be established therein." Jones, explaining his Philippine bill tonight, said: "Generally speaking the bill provides for the Philippines a most liberal form of territorial government. Its principal features affecting more important changes in the existing organic act, are those relating to the enlarged powers conferred upon the governor general, abolition of the Philippine commission as such and the substitution therefor of a senate, members of which representing Christian provinces shall be elected by popular vote. "Non-Christian tribes are to be represented in the legislature by two senators and nine representatives approved by the governor general. The governor general is to appoint the head of the executive department. The only officials to be appointed by the president are the governor general and members of the supreme court. "The governor general Is given a limited power of veto over acts of the legislature, but the president would have the power of absolute veto. "The legislature, both branches of which is to be elective, with the exception of members representing non- Christian territory, is given author-i ity to legislate as to all affairs in the islands, except that it cannot pass any law affecting trade relations with I the United States, cannot pass a j tariff or currency act, nor any act disposing of public lands, timber or mining rights without first securing presidential approval. "As an additional safeguard, in the interest of the Philippine people, the right of congress to annul any act of the Philippine legislature is expressly reserved. "A permanent bureau to have general supervision over non-Christian tribes is provided. "The right to vote is confined to the citizens of the islands, and educational qualifications of the present law are so enlarged as to embrace those who can md and write their native language instead of Eng'.lsh or Spanish, as at present." the federal forces. Coupled with the announcement from Torreon with results of the conferences there, the statement of Carranza from Saltillo, that 'he intends to carry out to the letter the plan of Guadalupe was regarded as significant. The plan provides for the installation of Carranza an presl-(Contlnued on Page Three.) vailed upon to quit the jobs 'they came to accept About three hundred union men are out of employment.

A survey of the developments in Mexico within the last 24 hours has convinced officials of the Washington government that internal peace is near at hand. The appointment of Francisco Carbajal as minister of foreign affairs means the retirement of Huerta in his favor as provisional president within a few days, according to messages from the Mexican capital to diplomats here. The capture by the constitutionalists of Guadalajara, w ithin striking distance of the Mexican capital, emphasized to the people in the territory controlled by Huerta that a military triumph of the revolution is inevitable. This is the tenor of information which has reached officials here along with news that persons prominently identified with the Huerta government are quietly leaving the country with their families, fearing reprisals by the constitutionalists. The composition of differences between Carranza and Villa through the conference at Torreon has solidified the constitutionalist military forces again, but those conversant with the inner details of the situation claim that a more beneficial result has ensued in the program for holding honest elections and carrying out of a series of reforms which has been drafted. But Carranza's pronouncement at Saltillo and statements of his representatives here make it almost a certainty that the only terms the constitutionalists will offer will be in acceptance of the plan of Guadalupe which would mean a virtually unconditional surrender by NEAR Stockton Faces War For An "Open Shop" Policy ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH STOCKTON, July 11.

Anadministration-approved plan for a more autonomous government in the Philippines as another step toward Indepedence was laid before congress today. Representative Jones of Virginia, introduced a bill covering the subject. The bill makes no attempt to fix the date for Philippine independence. Its preamble recites that it was never the Intention of the people of the United States in the incipiency of the war with Spain to make it a war of conquest for territorial aggrandizement. Jones is chairman of the house insular committee, and his measure declaring the purpose of the people of the United States as to the future political status of the Filipinos, follows a long series of conferences with the president, Secretary Garrison, Manuel Quezon, Philippine resident commissioner to the United States and democratic members of the insular committee, all of whom have approved it informally. The bill asserts that it has always been the purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine Islands, "as soon as a stable government be established therein." Jones, explaining his Philippine bill tonight, said: "Generally speaking the bill provides for the Philippines a most liberal form of territorial government. Its principal features affecting more important changes in the existing organic act, are those relating to the enlarged powers conferred upon the governor general, abolition of the Philippine commission as such and the substitution therefor of a senate, members of which representing Christian provinces shall be elected by popular vote. "Non-Christian tribes are to be represented in the legislature by two senators and nine representatives approved by the governor general. The governor general is to appoint the head of the executive department. The only officials to be appointed by the president are the governor general and members of the supreme court. "The governor general Is given a limited power of veto over acts of the legislature, but the president would have the power of absolute veto. "The legislature, both branches of which is to be elective, with the exception of members representing non- Christian territory, is given author-i ity to legislate as to all affairs in the islands, except that it cannot pass any law affecting trade relations with I the United States, cannot pass a j tariff or currency act, nor any act disposing of public lands, timber or mining rights without first securing presidential approval. "As an additional safeguard, in the interest of the Philippine people, the right of congress to annul any act of the Philippine legislature is expressly reserved. "A permanent bureau to have general supervision over non-Christian tribes is provided. "The right to vote is confined to the citizens of the islands, and educational qualifications of the present law are so enlarged as to embrace those who can md and write their native language instead of Eng'.lsh or Spanish, as at present." the federal forces.
